HARTFORD, Dec. 12.-The Connecticut State grange met here to-day. Many promi- nent agrieulturalists were present in the city. J. H. Hale of Glastonbury master of the grange, delivered the annual address. During the year twenty-one new granges have been organized in the State. The Patrons Mutual Fire Insurance company, insuring farm houses without charge for salaries or com missions, has begun business. having taken $500, ,000 of risks. The address endorses the interstate commerce bill and favors the res peal of power to suspend the short haul sec tion. On the subject of the tariff it says while farmers will not object to this (general revision of tariff they will object to such re- vision as will under the guise of ''raw mate- rials" place the productions of the farm, such as hemp, sugar, flax, hides, wool, etc., on the free list, while at the same time no reduction is made in the duties on manufactured pro- ductions of these articles.
 The State grange unanimously voted to en- dorse the attitude of Master J. H. Hale's ad- dress on the tariff.

The unfaYorable weather of Saturday did not prevent numerous guests from enjoying the musicale given by Mrs. Grunow, nee Miss Pauline RoeseIer. The duet Cinderella, !" performed by Misses Mary and Grace North, was very effective, and Miss May Stannards playing was simply charming. Mrs. Dr. Fitch sang sweetly, and two songs were ren- dered with feeling and effect by Miss Beate Roessler. This is the first of series of mu- sicales to be given by Mrs. Grunow, and we hope they may continue to indicate such suc- cess as has hitherto attended the efforts of this energetic teacher.

One of those disastrous explosions, to

Gillier's woods, west Of town.
Leonard PieTson, seventeen years Of
age, living In West Louisville, only son
of Joseph PiersOn, has been working for
about FIVE months In BOnnOt Brothers

Of the best apprentices they had in their

and his father insisted on his staying al

afternoon, tiring OF his Inactivity, be

kept to kill rats with, and iu company
with another boy started fer the woods.

WAR ON rooD GAMBLERS.

General Master Workman Powderly
hss Issued manifesto to the Pittebnrg
Assembly OF the knights of Labor In
which he denOunces in severe but not
too forcibls language the recent gam
bling transaction In food products. He
designates the late attempts to corner
wheat and coffee as gigantic sch imes to
rob the reOple under the shadow Of laws
which fail to punish gambling in the
necessaries of life, and calls the opera
tors concerned In the schemes rognes
and sWindlers. 1t does not lessen the
offense In Mr.. POwderly's eyes that the
conspiracles were not successful.
Few people will dissent from the
opinion that dealing In futures in food
products ought to be- stopped by law II
1t can be done eOnstltutionBIly. IL is q
much greater evil to gamble In the nee
essAries of life than with faro dealers
chips, yet the latter is prohibited by
statutes while the former is permitted
While everybody may not be willing to
regard our large wheat and coffee OpAr
atOrs as on level with Dick Tnrpin,
SlxteeD-StrlnR Jack and Jesse James,
as Mr. P0wdeTlV does, there Will be q
very general ffirmatiVe response to the
General Master WOrkman's inquiry, "Is
1t not time to appoint commission to
inquire into this refined method Of rob-
bing the people, so that law can be
passed to punish those who gamble In
food while others stsTVe for want Of itp"
And many persons will agree with Mr..
POwderly that there is good reason for
the organization of two new "Ex-
changee," Farmers Exchange and
LabOrers' Exchange, which should act
in cooperation.
1t is, however, scarcely In order for
Mr.. PowdeTly TO advocate boycott" of
all articles Of food on which the specU-
lstors of the Produce Exchanges of the
big cities seek to get up corner" for
gambling PURPOSES. MIR. Powderly has
already denounced the boycott with
such vigOr and force, as foreign alb N
instion unworthy of the wOrkiDgmpn
Of the United States, that be can hardly
call it into existence consistently, even
against these unscrUDulOus operators
Besides, be has a good cause when he
makes war on the food gamblers, and
one that he can fight without resOrting
to the bOycott,-LN. Y. World.
